Things to do

The Grand Hotel Hermitage lies in an oasis of vibrant flowers and greenery, a short walk from the town of Sant'Agata sui due Golfi down a private path.

A charming little place, the town was a centre for merchant activity between the two gulfs but which became famous as an idyllic tourist spot for Italians and foreigners alike - most notably by partakers of the 'Grand Tour' of gentry, poets, writers and artists. The town is so-called from the late renaissance 16th century church there named after the Sicilian virgin Saint Agatha which holds a Florentine masterpiece altar.

Free Shuttle Service

Of course the city of Sorrento is also only a short distance from the hotel and a free shuttle service is available at set times and on request to take guests there and back.

Dating from around 600BC at its earliest foundation, Sorrento is a small city rich in archaeological treasures with a strong tourist presence due to its outstanding natural beauty and charming pace of life. Famous for it's limoncello - a sweet lemon liqueur - it is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing day or meal and sip the taste of summer whilst gazing out over the Gulf of Naples.
